  If your Chef cooking Cookers are experiencing operational issues, such as the oven, grill, or hob not working, first ensure the electricity is turned on. Check your fuses and the circuit breaker. Make sure the correct knob is turned. If it's a gas appliance, dry or clean the ignition electrodes, ensure the flame ports and ignition areas are clean and dry, verify the gas supply is on, and ensure the cap/crown is correctly fitted. Replace or tighten light globes if fitted. If the fuse continues to blow, call the Service Centre. See also Gas Conversion Fault Finding on Page 17.
